Question:

All of this seems confusing and contradictory to me. You state in some of your answers to other questions: The first part of the phase two processes is to accept and appreciate that our choices have been and remain perfect and purposeful. The next part is to accept our God Presence as who we really are.

If in fact this woman has created these problems, how does she change them by just visualizing herself as God Presence? If the situation is perfect to begin with, then why does it need to be changed?

I have always lived in apartments but want to purchase a house. I've never been able to get the money together to do this. If I see this situation as perfect and purposeful will that enable me to finally purchase and live in a house?

 

Answer:

Let's take a look at the two parts you refer to in the first paragraph of your question and put them together: Our God Presence sees everything as perfect just the way it is. From our human perspective, we taught ourselves to believe that some situations are better than others. This leads us to try to change those situations that seem unsatisfactory into ones that are more satisfactory. This assumes that what we are experiencing is a mistake, an aberration or possibly a failure on our part.

The truth is that we have gone to great lengths to have the experience that is before us. Avoiding or being dissatisfied with that creation is a diminishment of our brilliant and powerful creative talents.

The other choice is to appreciate the present circumstance. Look at it with fresh eyes. Feel the miraculous power of your Self that brought this precise experience to you.

The game we call life is not trying to bring into existence that which we believe is best for us, such as a new house. The Universe brings us that which is most supportive in each moment. When what is present feels uncomfortable, go into the heart of the energy and feel the energy as the Power of God. That is who you really are. Do you need more than that?
